Asha, the hero in question, likely picked up the koala after it fell out of its mother’s pouch, the Daily Mail reports. Owner Kerry McKinnon found Asha with the tiny joey clinging to her fur.

“She looked a bit guilty when I came out to see what was going on. Her expression was hilarious,” McKinnon told News Australia.
